Y5 Oxford trip

Oxford University Museum of Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museum.

Day and Date: Tuesday 28th April and Wednesday 29th April 2026

As part of our Spring Term learning in Geography (Sustainability) and Summer Term learning in History (Benin), we are proposing to take the children on a trip to the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museum on the 28th and 29th April to take part in a workshop involving artefacts from Benin and explore the Natural History museums exhibits on Sustainability and Evolution. The trip will be across two days as the venue can only accommodate up to 60 children per day. The day your child is going will be confirmed closer to the time.

Timings: Coach to depart at 8:15am. Coach to arrive back at EBPS at approximately 4:20pm. All children will need collecting from school at the end of the trip.

Lunch arrangements

Children will need a packed lunch for the trip to Oxford. If your child has a pre-booked lunch provided by HAT, you will need to cancel their lunch choice for the day and rebook a school trip packed lunch before Tuesday 14th April. 

 If children bring their own packed lunch, it should be in a disposable carrier bag with a maximum of 2 drinks (no glass bottles and no fizzy drinks), healthy snacks only please and no nuts due to allergies.
